Exegesis
The subject hai kardiai {αἱ καρδίαι | haí kardíai} is then modified by the dative chain en kraipale kai methe kai merimnais biotikais {ἐν κραιπάλῃ καὶ μέθῃ καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς | en kraipálē kai méthē kai merímnais biōtikaîs}, a coordinated series that accumulates the spheres of danger: excess, intoxication, and the ordinary pressures of life.
In context — Luke 21:34
But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and anxieties of life, and that day come upon you suddenly.
